Good start, was chasing Rodrigo(who's pretty much my arch rival and has been for years ) and we'd managed to avoid the flying bikes through the first couple of turns. ...then got taken out near the end of the first lap by someone who instantly quit before his dust had even settled. ...then apparently came back for another shot at it in the second race.

I'm generally pretty forgiving but this one's pissed me right off. Probably wouldn't have made any difference to my final standings but that's not the point - the point is that that folk shouldn't be treating the early race as a practice start - if you take part early and screw up - tough luck - you should stick with it and finish - not quit and try again later.

On a positive note - was nice racing Hockenheim. I generally don't get on well with tracks full of hairpins but this place is a blast.

Didn't notice this, glad you mentioned it. Only 1 participation is allowed per race weekend. Was it Santi-rrin? He is the only player I see that participated in both races, i didn't see that before.

I did spot him but when I looked at the 15:00 race results he had no laps logged although didn't show as DNS, so thought I'd let him race. But you're right we need a rule regarding this, like if you do a qually lap you're in the race. Mind you this will only be relevant for the next 3 races.

Wasn't for naming names but yeah, it was indeed.

Sorry Santi - for my part in it and for feeling the need to bring it up. ...and for being so slow. The coming together would likely never have happened if I wasn't a hopeless backmarker braking too early.
